Turbo LS '95 Chevy: Grandpa's Former Daily Driver Turns Into Drag Truck! (Test Hits with a Dragy)

What happens here

The team opens the hood to inspect the engine bay and quickly identifies the problem: the throttle cable has come loose from its mounting bracket on the intake manifold. The temporary solution involves using zip ties to secure the throttle cable back into place. This is a quick fix to allow for continued testing, with the understanding that a more permanent solution may be needed later.

Goal: Temporarily repair the disconnected throttle cable.
